Top 3 Free Online Background Check Tools

There are plenty of paid background check websites out there. But what if you just want a basic checkup on someone? What if you don’t want to pay $10 to $15 for a background check?

Lucky for you, there are plenty of free background check resources available – including government databases, county courthouses, and free online services.


Today, we’re highlighting the best three online background check tools you can use today in seconds.


The National Sex Offender Public Website


The National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW.gov) is a comprehensive database listing anyone in your neighborhood convicted of sex crimes.
With a few seconds of searching, you can see if anyone around you has a history of sex crimes. You can:

·         Search by name (using a first name and last name)
·         Search by location (entering an address, city or town, or state)
·         Search by radius (entering your own address, a school address, or any other location)

You can instantly view information from the people around you. Some are curious about what their new neighborhood is like. Others are investigating a creepy coach, neighbor, or teacher.

Whatever the reason may be, NSOPW is an excellent (and free) government resource used to track people convicted of sex crimes.


The National Center for State Courts


The National Center for State Courts website (NCSC.org) connects you with state and county courts across America. Most public records are stored in state or county courts. If you were arrested, married, or divorced in that county, for example, then your record appears in that county courthouse database.

If you know the general location where someone lives (or was arrested), or if you are curious about your county’s record-keeping practices, then you may be surprised what you find at the NCSC.org website. It’s totally free to use.


Free Criminal Record Check Websites


Some criminal record check websites require payment to complete a search. Other websites, however, are free to use.


Enter a first name and last name, then browse available information to get started.

In many cases, criminal record checks offer some information for free – and other information for paying customers. You may be able to view someone’s date of birth, marriage certification, and five arrest records for free, for example, and then pay extra to access a complete profile.

Whether doing a deep dive or a brief search, you can find plenty of free information at criminal record check websites.
